Thanks Jacob! I love the sphinx moths & it it always a thrill to spot one but I initially assumed this was just a variation of the waved sphinx I've seen a few times. It was only when I couldn't find a match for the green that I investigated a little further.

I would agree with your ID, although I was first a little bit confused about your missing second "white" spot.
